As for "godere" I think it would be a shame to avoid using this verb because it can have a sexual meaning. What's more, when used as a reflexive verb (godersi), it cannot have any sexual meaning so it's perfectly safe to use. How else could one say "he knows how to enjoy life" in Italian otherwise?

Lui sì che sa godersi la vita

Carlo, could you explain to me what "Lui si che"means in the context of this sentence?

The point is that "godere" can only mean "experience sexual pleasure" when it is used on its own, without any obiect. So if a learner wants to be safe all he/she has to do is avoid using it on its own.

Apart from "godere" followed by "di" (di buona salute, della fiducia di tutti, di buona fama) I think its most frequent use is as a reflexive, "godersi".

You can only use a noun, not a verb, after "godersi" so you need to omit "fare".
Since you're speaking about travelling in general I'd opt for "un viaggio". If you say "il viaggio" it sounds as if you are talking about a specific trip. Maybe you could say it while pointing at a couple who are clearly enjoying the trip which is taking place.
